If I'm thinking right it might be ok at the line but down field you will get a flag for it . Could be wrong though.

That's the way it is being called. However, that is not how it is written in the rule book. My point is if they are going to call that, fine but then be prepared to call the holds that occur on every play on the line.

You and I both know they pick and choose when to call a hold, zero consistency. I’m more troubled with how many times our players do things like this when they are out of the play.

You're right of course, but refs should not be allowed to just ignore the rule book on certain parts of the field. If they want to call it that tight, great, just call it that way everywhere on the field.

It all boils down too whether or not a QB wins SB's in most people's eyes. Not to all people but most. Until Luck wins a SB he will never get the respect he deserves from most people. Russell Wilson could retire tomorrow and almost everyone thinks he is a god because he won a SB which is funny. Wilson not only had one of the best defenses of all-time but his RB (Lynch) was the best offensive player on that team. Wilson is a very good QB but Luck is better, IMO anyway. Imagine if Luck would've been a Seahawk in 2012-2015? That team would've been unbeatable.

This response is not directed at you, but at the general thought line that is shared by many.
When I refer to Suh as not being a good guy, (I believe I balked at him being called a "good guy" in another thread), does not mean I think he is a bad guy. What I think he is, is a bad example for younger players. He is a bad example by his actions of going from team, to team. If he was a "team" guy, he would not be going to his 4th team in 6 years. Ballard is building a team/family culture. I don't see the benefit to the Colt team culture by his example, let alone the possibility that he might vocally encourage a younger star player to follow his pattern.
